CBM1’s Geoff Grossman recently completed a lease with Maxine Waters, California’s 43rd District Congresswoman, on +/-3,523 SF space in a corner retail strip center that will serve as a district operations office. Positioned at the signalized intersection of Hawthorne Boulevard and 136th Street, the well-located property is situated amid the steadily gentrifying city of Hawthorne. The center presents a unique arrangement in that it combines traditional retail and community service-focused tenants, with both the O’Reilly Auto Parts anchor and Options For Youth, a charter school, occupying the center.
Maxine Waters is a congresswoman representing California’s 43rd District in the United States House of Representatives. Her political career dates back to 1976, when Waters was first elected to the California State Assembly, where she ultimately served seven terms. In 1991, Waters was elected to the House of Representatives and is currently serving her 17th congressional term. The 43rd District covers most of South Los Angeles and portions of Inglewood, Gardena, and Torrance. And the newly leased office will function as Congresswoman Waters’ local management hub for her area operations.
“This is definitely my first lease on an office for a member of Congress,” CBM1’s Geoff Grossman quips about his latest high-profile tenant. That admission aside, Grossman notes that Congresswomen Waters’ leasing the property underscores the fact that “retail is still in demand.” And while Grossman acknowledges that retail uses continue to evolve, he also stresses, “Though the current tenant pool may differ from what we’ve seen in the past, there are still a significant number of prospects looking for space to lease.”
